Well, I would argue that Android is using exactly indicators which we know as SNIs. It's the same thing - it's an icon in your top panel and when you pull the panel down, you see the title, text and available actions. This is _exactly_ what SNI does, it just so happens that on desktop the representation is always an icon with context menu. It has title, text and actions and is often accompanied by a popup notification. That said, I realize you want to target as broad userbase as possible, but if Gnome decides to not be cross-desktop compatible, well screw 'em, their fault. It bothers me that people always have to find alternate, many times sub-par solutions and the reason is "Gnome" that never wants to play along with about anything. But I digress. I still think having a notification sticked to the screen with indefinitely-high timeout is not the solution. If only for the unpredictability of servers. Given the user has to initiate the pairing and the user is then expected and required to complete the pairing, how about using some modal way to confirm the pairing? Like a popup dialog? I mean if the point of the interaction is to complete the pairing and if it's imperative that the pairing completes, then just put it in front of the user square and center to confirm. Raising the notification timeout for this to me is a workaround at best.
